Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Your clutch cable needs to be tightened, as your clutch is slipping. This gets worse with using for a while since clutch metal expands with heat. Its an easy fix. You can do it too, follow the manual.

Thank you! I will try this today! I went to the SVC yesterday and my lazy service guy almost convinced me it was normal.

Excellent choice.. Now about the run in period..

1. While breaking in you don't want to give sudden throttle or apply sudden brakes. Get yourself acquainted with the clutch play. Don't ride at constant speed all the time. Try to vary your speed and go thru all the gears. THERE IS NO SPEED RESTRICTION. But following the RPM restrictions, you would be going at around 65kmph in the fifth gear.

2. Make sure you don't exceed 4500rpm till 800KMS. Try to complete 700KMS at least before first service if you can.

3. Stay within 7000rpm till you've clocked 1600 KMS.

4. Don't push the bike into corners till 160KMS as your tires would be new. You need to break in your tires too.

Take care of your bike, keep it clean and healthy. Wear your gear and ride safe.

Note: If I've missed anything, people are free to add.

Look up for pre delivery inspection on the internet for details. Also, take a test ride to see if everything is in order.
Also check that they've provided original MRFs and hav not swapped it before delivery (happened with a friend).

to do this correctly, put your bike in centre stand, and start it up and put it in first gear. Keep the clutch held in, dont release it. if the rear wheel turns then you have a problem.

other than being annoying this will wear out your clutch very quickly. Eventually causing gear box problems.

Can you please elaborate this ? i never thought it as an issue , rear wheel spinning when clutch is engaged fully is a problem?

Okay i tried adjusting the clutch and made it much tighter(about 4-5 revolutions of the adjustable nut ) but the wheel is still turning, but little lesser than before (negligible difference)
Can anything else be causing this?

Edit: I did a little research and also found that the wheel turning slowly while the clutch is pressed is normal, and making the clutch too tight can snap the cable.

*Okay stupid me*
My bikes choke was a centimeter below the off position, and as soon as i pushed if all the way off, the bikes now working fine.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Idk where to ask this but why is the Hero HX250R thread closed and is there any other thread for it?
Cause now there's word that the production ready model would be launched at the Auto Expo.
